Provides a penetrating examination of how political rhetoric from
public officials creates tensions via microaggression cues due to
changing demographics, campaign rhetoric, and the use of social
media. What are microaggression cues, and what are examples of
those cues in political rhetoric? How have microaggression cues
from former presidents, elected officials, political candidates,
and former candidate, now President, Trump led to further
polarization of America's citizens? What are the connections
between these microaggression cues, the demographic shift of the
United States, and the growing fear among longtime majority
populations? Political Speech as a Weapon: Microaggression in a
Changing Racial and Ethnic Environment answers these questions and
helps readers understand related topics such as nativism, the
transformation process of the U.S. population and cultural norms,
and how Americans can best respond to evolving conditions to meet
these challenges. Author Sylvia Gonzalez-Gorman addresses a blind
spot in the field of American politics and connects hostile
rhetoric by public officials to the effect of such rhetoric, which
leads to the marginalization of groups and a polarizing cultural
environment. The book specifically focuses on the role of political
rhetoric as a microaggression cue and clearly illustrates how these
cues are a well established—and damaging—component of U.S.
political culture.
